The Grammar Nazi's definitions

tag and release

The term used to describe a sexually attractive (but underage) teenager. It derives from the practice of tagging wildlife. The understanding is that the stud is out of bounds at his current age, but that you'll be back to claim him when he's legal.

First defined in a Dan Savage column on 24 Nov 04.

#1: Damn, check out that hottie over there!
#2: Yeah, he's hott, but he's only 15.
#1: Tag and release that stud!
